Ingredients for Cinnamon Roll Pigs in a Blanket
Here’s what you need to make cinnamon roll pigs in a blanket:
Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls: Grab a bag of Rhodes Thaw, Rise and Bake Cinnamon Rolls from the freezer section. You’ll only need six rolls for this recipe so you’ll have extra for another delicious breakfast. They are great to have on hand for an easy and delicious breakfast or snack.

Breakfast sausage links: I used original breakfast sausage links but maple links would be delicious for another boost of flavor. Use whatever sounds best to you.
Prep the Ingredients
This recipe starts with thawing the cinnamon rolls. Start by thawing six cinnamon rolls.
Spray a large baking pan with nonstick spray and lay out six rolls, leaving space between for them to rise. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise. This will take about one to three hours, depending on the temperature of your home.
You can also thaw them overnight in the refrigerator if you prefer. This way they’ll be ready for the recipe first thing in the morning.
When the rolls are almost done rising, cook the sausage links in a cast iron skillet until browned and cooked through. Set aside and allow to cool until you can handle them with your hands.
Assemble the Cinnamon Roll Pigs in a Blanket
After the cinnamon rolls are risen it’s time to assemble. Unroll a cinnamon roll and cut the long strip into three equal pieces.
Take one strip of cinnamon roll and wrap it around a sausage link. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining sausages and cinnamon rolls until they are all wrapped.
Bake until golden. Plate the pigs in a blanket on a pretty platter then drizzle with frosting from the cinnamon rolls and enjoy.
Perfect for Any Occasion
Need a fun and easy recipe to make with the kids? These are perfect. What’s more fun for kids then getting to play with food?!
They are a great option to make for brunch. You get your sweet and savory all in one bite. If you’re feeding a big crowd, you can keep them warm in the oven on its lowest temperature.
If you love breakfast for dinner, these are the perfect addition.
If you have leftovers, store covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat for 30 to 60 seconds in the microwave.
